By this I don't mean in the same game or in FM08 itself, but is there a player you've signed on previous editions that you look out for or have just happened to have signed again in newer editions?

For me, on FM06 I had Simon Walton in defence or as DMC for my almighty Charlton team. Playing as Leeds this time round (FM08) I needed a decent CBK so looked for decent defenders with Leeds as a favourite club and lo-and-behold Mr Walton pops up!

I usually sign hangeland from a norwegian club, fulham have him now. He does well for anyone in the premier league, does his job. I also have signed Eddie stanford in the previous 2 years as he costs nothing but is amazing for LL clubs.

I never intentionally sign the same player again, however I was recently promoted to the English Premiership and my scout suggested Jiri Jarosik, so I took him on trial and then signed him.

I had had him in my Southampton team in FM06, and he was awesome. This was before he signed for Chelsea IRL so was fairly unheard of, but he help them gain promotion scoring over 20 goals from central midfield.

We must abolish slavery, £150,000 grand a week, how do they expect him to live!

I signed daniel bierofka in fm 07 for about 200k and he became the best player in the premiership by far, most assists and goals. tried to sign him in fm 08 but he wouldnt come anyone got him in this version?

No, but Bierofka utterly bedevilled me in one save-game. I think he had a 1-goal, 3-assist game against me at one point!!

I finally settled on explicitly double-covering him as the only way I could slow him down: I had both the winger and fullback on his side set to "explicit Man-Mark" him, one with "tight marking" on and the other with it off, and that was the only way I could slow him down.

the only thing i did do is use him a a search filter thing when i was in BSP at farsley, got karl pitman who all my scouts said dont bother and when i sighned him all my coaches said offload him but he was kind of the equivilent for me scoring and lots of assists

Maxim Tsigalko was some sort of understatted goal-scoring hero for a Real game I had on CM 4.

The best was Jens Jeremies. He was available for a free at the end of the first season, but was more or less impossible to get. Somehow, on one of many save games, I managed to get him for Liverpool, went to Real, took him with me, then brought him to Southampton after that. He was so great.

soz i know this is an old post but just got back into FM and my main everytime purchase since CM02/03 on xbox version was johnathan soriano first time bought he broke R.Madrids all time goal scoring record in 4 seasons
i feel almost compelled to buy but never has he hit them heights again

I always sign Freddy Eastwood when I'm playing in any league lower than the Premiership in England, or in a country where the players aren't as good. No matter where I play, Eastwood consistently racks in 25-30 goals a season.

i always used to buy tonton zolo moukoko when he was around and also zlatan mouslimovic when he was rated as a great player...they were awsome and formed part of what i call my fantastic 4...i cant remember who the other two were though so i guess it was only half fantastic.
